ABOUT a month ago I e-mailed
you about my skepticism involving any shoot down of
Flight 93. There are some details associated with cockpit
voice recorders (CVR) and tower tapes which might help
you not go down the conspiracy road.

I have taken the Federal Aviation Administration's
basic crash investigation course and one very important
detail is overlooked by the media and law
enforcement.

The CVR tapes are not to be released to the public and
are only for crash investigation purposes, it's the law.
When people hear a tape on the news reports it is not the
CVR, they are hearing the tower tapes -- the
conversations between Air Traffic Control and the crew on
the aircraft.

The media is obsessed with airplane accidents and show
their ignorance whenever these events happen. When you
hear an "I love you mom" while the plane is going down on
the television, it is the tower tapes, which are
not protected by law, that you are hearing.

My guess is that the FBI clown is not even aware of
this and is using his law enforcement training when he
says they are not going to be released because of an
ongoing investigation.

YES, thank you for that
information; I was aware that the pilots' professional
association had enforced the adoption of a law rendering
the contents of cockpit voice records sacred and
protected, never to be released, for reasons of common
decency; and I am sometimes puzzled that newspaper
reporters don't seem to know this. Even so, there seem to
be urgent reasons why independent outsiders should be
allowed to scrutinize these tapes, in the same manner
that the NTSB officials can.
